I’m in the Air Force, and we work out in a field where we stay for 4-6 days at a time, and then go home. Now, I’m going to be a little vague on details, in order to avoid giving specifics of our job that can be compromising. The fields are literally in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by farming areas and old abandoned farm houses. When we go out to the field, we are put in charge of certain areas, ensuring no one trespasses on government property (the property is not only limited to where we reside, but encompasses the surrounding area 10 miles or more out). Now, with my rank, I act as a dispatcher for my area, sending my lower ranking team out to investigate when need be. I, however, receive the notification from a team underground beneath me. They are the ones that actually receive alarm indications.

In order to get into my office, I have to press a buzzer to let people in. Now, to go downstairs to where the underground team is, entry through a second door is required, and they either have to press their buzzer that’s located downstairs with them or I have to physically open it with the key. The team downstairs is more than three stories under ground. If anyone makes their way into the area leading downstairs, an alarm goes off and now we have a situation. There is no avoiding that alarm.

Now to the story.

It was 0230, when myself and two other people were in my office talking, when the second door leading downstairs begin to open on its own. Now, this door did not swing open nor did it slowly creak open. It opened as if someone had the door knob in their hand and was walking out. I sat there, frozen, watching this door open. The girl that was in the office with us immediately ran to the weapons and grabbed the rifle. The third guy stood up, calmly stated that he should close the door, and did so. Immediately, i grabbed the phone and called downstairs. They stated that not only had they not pushed the buzzer, but they never received an alarm. I decided to send my team downstairs, just as a precaution, even though it could have simply been an electronic malfunction.

I send my team downstairs. I can hear them get in the elevator, and hear the elevator head downstairs (it’s super loud). We also hear when it stops at the bottom. Myself and the calm guy stay upstairs waiting for the team to come back up. We begin talking about how weird that was, our minds occupied with conversations. After about 15 minutes, we both hear three knocks on the door leading downstairs. Three solid, closed palm knocks. I mention that I never heard the elevator come back up. I make my way to the door, look through the glass pane and there is nobody there! The calm guy I was with could not believe it when I told him there was no one there. He rushed to the glass pane, shoves me aside, only to be left mouth open, completely speechless. As soon as my team comes back up, we pass along the new information, but they stated they never saw or heard anything. The rest of that night the lights stayed on (until 0600).

That same day I wake up at 1500, and head to the office from my room (it’s one big building). I see heavy bags propped against the door, to my relieve. The dispatcher on duty turns around and tells me that at 1430 (12 hours after my incident) he heard three loud open palm knocks. He presses the buzzer leading to his office. When no one walks in, he turns around, in anger, only to see the door leading downstairs opening, as if someone is walking out, prompting him to close it and place the heavy bags as obstacles.

I honestly believe the government property we guard is haunted by Native American spirits, as we work in lands that were once sacred to them (I know this because there is official government paperwork available to reference). There are many more stories involving the field, but maybe for another time.
